What is it with Cubs pitchers getting all surly after getting roughed up the Braves? Last year Carlos Zambrano kicked off a mini Operation Shutdown after Atlanta torched him. Last night Kerry Wood walked two Braves and gave up two more and the lead. Then he had himself a little hissy fit. Patrick Mooney of CSNChicago.com reports. Video of Wood’s comments below:

Kerry Wood walked off the mound and squeezed his glove before throwing it into the stands. He tossed his hat to the fans before disappearing into the dugout … His postgame media session lasted 45 seconds. He cut it off after a reporter mentioned the glove.

“Irrelevant, dude, and why the (bleep) would you even bring that up?” Wood said. “You guys have a good night.”

With that, Wood stormed away from his locker.

Yeah, silly to ask Wood a question like that given just how often players throw their gloves and hats into the stands. It’s a total dog-bites-man story.

who cares the clashed sucked anyway,they had like 2 songs and did not change music or the world. unless you had a safety pin stuck in your cheek I can’t think of anybody who liked them but stupid critics who know nothing about good music anyway.

look….i understand that professional ball players are responsible for their actions and are highly encouraged to maintain their composure. However, they’re freaking human and have emotions. Some fan got an on the field gift….big deal. And i HATE the Cubs…..

The starters have been excellent. Demp is leading the Majors with a 1.02 ERA. Garza has a 2.67 ERA, and Samardzija is at 3.02. The back of the bullpen was supposed to be a strength with Woody and Marmol, but has instead been a disaster. Russell has been solid, and Dolis has developed nicely. Pitching is not this team’s most glaring problem. Outside of LaHair and Castro, no one else is hitting consistently. Demp has that stellar ERA, and zero wins to show for it because they don’t score any runs for him.

You know it’s funny Delaware. On Letterman last night Jared Weaver did the Top Ten.
Dave was kidding him about throwing inside on guys and giving them a little “chin music” when they crowd the plate. Jared said he would give guys a “Texas Bow Tie” if warranted cause’ he likes to bring a little “Old School Baseball” to today’s current “New School Baseball.”
True Story.
Apparently the “old school baseball” mindset is far more prevalent than people choose to admit.

Why is it that have a different take on the flying glove? Is it because I’m as much a historian of baseball as a fan? This was not a Cubs moment or a Braves moment. It was a baseball moment. I heard the game on radio, so I didn’t see flying glove but I heard what sounded like the end of a career that had been so promising. The announcers preceded Woods’ first pitch by reciting his stats: an “enormous ERA” fattened by too many walks and hits. Their commentary seemed to foretell what happened. Woods’ failure was not exactly nails in the coffin, but it had a dreadfully sad overtone. The senior athlete who had returned to his favorite arena among the people who so well revered him had, step by step, batter by batter, hit, walk, walk, hit, given up the game. When I heard that he walked off the field and threw his glove into the stands, it was the real world of people who depend upon their bodies even when bodies say different.
